About A VAIN AND INDECENT WOMAN
Product Description The poignant story of the most extraordinary love affair in British royal history. ONE PRINCESS. TWO HUSBANDS. BY ORDER OF THE KING. When the young Joan of Kent married William de Montecute at Westminster Abbey in 1341, she became the first and only princess in British history to knowingly commit bigamy - and it was done at the royal command of her uncle King Edward III. But Joan was no frail English rose. For ten long years she defied her family, her country and her king to keep faith with the man she claimed was her true husband. They were all sure she would break in the end... One of the most astonishing stories of medieval history from internationally bestselling author Colin Falconer. What readers are saying about A VAIN AND INDECENT WOMAN“I really like all the Falconer books I’ve read… but this one is going to rank as my favourite. It’s one-of-a-kind. “Joan of Woodstock” doesn’t have the historical celebrity status of an Elizabeth I, or Catherine d’Medici; but I’m betting you’ll learn something, and be entertained in the process!” Shari “I loved this book… This captivating historical read was filled with complex and memorable characters that brought history to life. Joan of Kent was an absolutely fascinating woman whose life and times were captured so wonderfully in this book… I read it. I loved it. I bought it. It’s an historical read that shouldn’t be missed.” Meg Nyberg More Colin Falconer medieval fiction: A Great Love of Small ProportionIsabella: Braveheart of France (published by Lake Union) Modern Historical Fiction: The Unkillable Kitty O'Kane (published by Lake Union)Loving Liberty Levine (published by Lake Union) From the Author Find more Colin Falconer novels at colinfalconer.org About the Author Colin is the author of over two dozen novels of historical fiction, translated into 24 languages.
